Description: Governance and accountability in the context of Zero Trust in the cloud refer to the organizational structure and processes that ensure security policies are effectively implemented and that individuals within the organization take responsibility for their actions. In a Zero Trust environment, where it is assumed that no entity, whether internal or external, is trusted by default, governance becomes a critical component. This involves establishing clear roles, defining access policies, and ensuring constant audits and monitoring. Responsibility extends to all levels of the organization, from senior management to employees, who must be aware of the implications of their actions on data and system security. The combination of solid governance and clear assignment of responsibilities helps mitigate risks, fosters a culture of security, and ensures that protective measures remain updated and effective against emerging threats. In this sense, governance and accountability are not only essential for complying with security regulations and standards but are also fundamental to building trust in the use of cloud services.
